If you have been diagnosed with a spinal fracture caused by osteoporosis, cancer or benign tumors, balloon kyphoplasty is a treatment option you may want to consider. Balloon kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that can significantly reduce back pain and repair the broken bone of a spinal fracture.
There are two main surgical treatments designed to
repair spinal fractures (vertebral compression fractures):
- Balloon
kyphoplasty – A minimally invasive procedure that uses a
balloon to lift the vertebrae and create a cavity for bone cement to
stabilize the fracture
- Vertebroplasty –
A minimally invasive procedure in which liquid bone cement is injected into
the affected vertebrae to stabilize the fracture and relieve pain
What is Balloon Kyphoplasty?
· Balloon
kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive treatment that can repair spinal fractures
caused by osteoporosis, cancer, or benign lesions. During the procedure,
orthopedic balloons are used to gently elevate the fractured vertebra in an
attempt to return it to the correct position. Bone cement is then injected to
stabilize the fracture. Balloon kyphoplasty takes up to one hour per fracture
level treated. It can be done on an inpatient or outpatient basis, depending on
your overall state of health as determined by your physician.

Before Your Procedure
Before the procedure, you will have a medical exam and undergo diagnostic studies, such as having x-rays taken, to determine the precise location of the fracture. You and your doctor will decide whether you should have local or general anesthesia.

After Your Procedure
Patients often experience relief from spinal fracture pain one week after the procedure. Your doctor will most likely schedule a follow-up visit and explain limitations, if any, on physical activity. Most patients return to their usual activity within a few days.

How Does Balloon Kyphoplasty
Compare to Non-surgical Treatment?

Balloon Kyphoplasty was shown to be more effective
than non-surgical care for the treatment of acute vertebral compression
fractures.
Patients treated with balloon kyphoplasty had
faster and greater improvement in back pain relief, back function and quality
of life at one month after surgery. The benefits of balloon kyphoplasty were
sustained on average through 12 months. The overall frequency of patients with
adverse events did not differ between the balloon kyphoplasty and the
non-surgical groups.
What Are the Benefits of Balloon Kyphoplasty?
Relieves Pain Fast
Balloon kyphoplasty to non-surgical treatment found
that people with spinal fractures treated with balloon kyphoplasty experienced
the following benefits versus those treated with non-surgical management:
- 3 times greater pain reduction one
week after the procedure. Pain reduction was maintained in the long term.2
- 4 times greater quality of life one
month after the procedure. Quality of life advantage was maintained after
2 years.2
- 5 more days out of bed in the first month and
120 more days out of bed in the first 2 years after the procedure.2
Restores Height and Corrects Stooped Posture
(Kyphosis)
Compression fractures often result in height loss
and stooped posture (kyphosis) due to changes in the shape of the affected
vertebrae (spinal deformity). Balloon Kyphoplasty was shown to correct the
spinal deformity that leads to kyphosis by restoring and normalizing vertebral
height and shape.
